Shield Hero With Barrier Magic

Trash: Now, I suppose I owe you an explanation. My country, Melromarc, and the entire world is headed toward destruction.

And still, you summoned all the four heroes here instead of one putting the whole world in danger. Well, I am also selfish, so I won't blame you. Anyway, I already know the story. The blah blah about the prophecy, the waves and heroes and the hourglasses. The next wave is in less than a month. I even know where it will happen, so no problem with that. I will try to save that village. Anyway, Trash finished his bullsh*t story.

Trash: We realized that only the Four Cardinal Heroes could stop them, So, we followed the legend and summoned you four. We have no time to lose!

Ren suddenly clashed the sword with the floor making a clanck sound. Stop showing off, asshole.

Ren: We get the gist of it now. Anyway, surely you didn't summon us expecting us to save you for free, did you?

Some Head priest with a villainous face answered him.

Head Priest: Of course, once you repel all the waves, we shall reward you handsomely.

Motoyasu: Will you now? Well, as long as we have your word.

Ren: We will work with you provided you don't turn on us. But don't think for a moment that you can tame us.

Hahaha. You guys are the idiots who can be tamed very easily. All you guys need is a little bit of praise.

Itsuki: Exactly, we can't have you looking down on us.

Why? You are the people who can easily be looked down upon. Man, they act so high and mighty that it makes me want to puke.

And why do you guys think they will keep their word after you complete the job? *Sigh*

Trash: I trust we have an agreement.

Yeah, an agreement that you don't care about.

Trash: Then, heroes, you should all check your statuses.

Ren: What's wrong with you guys? It should have been the first thing you noticed in this world. Don't you see an icon in the corner of your field of vision?

Motoyasu: It's there.

Ren: Try focusing on it.

I wonder how my status would be. I focus on the icon.

___________________________________________________________________________________________________________

STATUS:

Hiro Iwatani. Age 19. The Shield Hero.

ATT, MAG, P.DEF, M.DEF, DEX = Your wish, Enhance them to whatever value you want.

There is no max limit for you. But if you want to use any specific magic, you need your shield to first gain it.

Equipment: Do you really need this? Can't you tell it as you are the one who is equipping?

Level: This thing doesn't matter for you anymore.

Anyway, what I am saying is you decide most of the status and the others will see that.

PS: I am the real Hiro by the way. You got my powers. I gave you my name too as I want people with my personality to have the name my parents gave me and also my self-satisfaction. Well, I don't know what will be your last name (It will be entered in the status once you decide it) but if you are seeing this status that means you are in Shield Hero world. Well, you are both lucky and unlucky. Anyway, Make every asshole in that world pay, especially Takt and Bitch. Don't have regrets, no matter what. Well, you have my powers and my ideals. So, you will do fine. Bye Bye.

(MC's POV)

F*ck you, Hiro. Wait a second. It's like I am scolding myself. Well, I have to thank this guy though. He is the reason I got these powers.

Itsuki: Level 1, huh? That's worrying.

What did you expect then?

Motoyasu: Yeah, no telling if we can fight like this.

Well, only the level isn't important, to be honest.

Motoyasu: What's all of this, anyway?

The same head priest from a while back answered.

Head Priest: Status Magic, an ability exclusive to heroes.

Ren: So, what are we supposed to do?

Trash: You must go on an adventure to develop and upgrade the legendary weapons that you have equipped.

And Motoyasu starts doing feats with his spear. Why do these guys like to show off this much ?!!

Motoyasu: Can't we use another weapon until these are usable?

Ren: We can figure that out as we go. Anyway, it looks like we ought to train ourselves.

Itsuki: We will have to level up as much as we can.

Ren: I guess the four of us could form a party.

Head Priest: One moment, heroes. You will each recruit and adventure separately.

Itsuki: And why is that?

Head Priest: It is said that the legendary weapons repel one another by nature. If you work together, you apparently hinder their development.

Ren: He's telling the truth, huh?

Trash: The sun is about to set. Rest up tonight and set forth tomorrow. In the meantime, we will gather the best of the best to form your parties.

And will also plan on how to frame and I have this night to counter your plans. Good luck.

A random girl came forward.

Random Girl: We have prepared rooms for you. Please come this way.
